Welcome, welcome, to Empty Me. This is your weekly access to a stranger’s journal. Hopefully soon, I won’t be too much of a stranger, and it will just be a catching up session.

One thing about Music (here is where I tell you what I am listening to)

I am listening to Infinity song’s album, Metamorphosis. What a talented family! The songs just touch a place in me that makes me feel undone. The genre of music is soft rock and to see young black people write and perform music like this always leaves me in awe. Anytime I listen to them sing I think to myself, “how does it feel to live out your dreams?”

And sometimes I don’t like myself, can I be someone else?
Someone who makes their dreams come true and drinks from wishing wells
Someone that they call lucky, and I never seem to fail
But sometimes, I don’t like myself, can I be someone else?

Netflix and Chat

I have been glued to peacock. The Real Housewives franchise is getting back to how it used to be and it’s had me in a chokehold for the last few weeks. Real Housewives of New York got kind of dark this season, but I am looking forward to them coming back. But Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been so comical because Dorit is coming for everyone’s throat and I am not mad at it. I also like watching Boass. But I know these shows are all rot. I have also been catching up on the Traitors. I really hate how celebrities are now included, I liked it better when it was more regular people. The celebs just judge each based on what they know about each other from their respective shows. The show is better when they are all strangers.

She Reads (what I am reading, visit my website for a through review)

Currently reading Isaac’s song. I finished don’t Cry for me by Daniel Black and I had already purchased Isaac’s song, which is a sequel. I am sure I am going to love it. I will be writing a book review for Don’t Cry for me on my blog here.

What is the Lord saying?

The Lord is telling me to put away all my distractions and draw nearer. I have always known my real life will begin when I get close to God. The moment my life changes will be when I put away all distractions and place God as my priority. But I feel pulled to everything else. Praying for a change of heart.

A break for a little heart to heart

What is someone called who never finishes what they start? I am that someone and I need to change this behavior, expeditiously! I am not sure when I became this person, but I fully am and it is something I am fighting to change. I think it started when I failed at one thing several times, then afterwards, I stopped putting effort into things. I think I sometimes have a great idea and I think about what the results would be without thinking about what the process will look like. When I am walking in the process, it becomes too tedious or the results don’t come quick enough for me so I stop. I am a quitter, but as of now, I am determined to change. I hope to come back to this a year from now and see how I have changed. Now I really have to write these weekly.

Appearance Matters

Wow, the struggle of looking put together. How do people naturally like to look good, as in getting their hair done, nails, and putting pieces together. Why don’t I have those genes? I really want to develop my personal style and have the attitude of caring about what I look like. I need so much help. I keep saving outfits and styles on pinterest, but I am not following through.

Healthy Living

Only here to say that I lost weight and I am so happy about it. I just hope to keep it off. I wanted to put away drinking alcohol to help with my weight goal, but I failed miserably this week. I hope this year is better.

How is life going for you?
